No self-serve. No free trial. Pilot programs for health systems (3-6 months). For a 200-physician system, expect $1.4M-$1.9M annually before implementation costs. Annual contracts with volume discounts.
No free trial. Alma often negotiates $10-30 higher per-session reimbursement than solo credentialing. At 20 sessions/week, even a $10 rate improvement generates $800/month in additional revenue—more than covering membership. $500 referral bonus for each provider referred.
